A study was conducted to analyse the ethical climate typology of the Ethical Climate Questionnaire empirically, in order to develop a unique South African typology. This typology was tested for the equivalence of the construct between the private and public sector. A three ethical climate type solution was found (in contrast with the initial nine, and later five type typology). The results suggest that the construct is equivalent for both the private and public sectors. The findings could be used as a foundation for future studies, as well as for ethical climate measurement within the South African context.

一项针对组织中道德气候的适应性测度–南非的一项研究

为了发展一种独特的南非类型，进行了一项研究以凭经验分析《道德气候问卷》的道德气候类型。对这种类型进行了测试，以检验私有和公共部门之间结构的等效性。找到了三种符合伦理学的气候类型解决方案（与最初的九种类型和后来的五种类型学类型形成对比）。结果表明，该结构对于私营部门和公共部门都是等效的。这些发现可以作为未来研究的基础，以及在南非范围内进行道德气候测量的基础。
